About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Primarily affecting males, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne) is a rare and fatal genetic disorder that results in progressive muscle weakness from early childhood and leads to premature death in the mid-twenties due to heart and respiratory failure. It is a progressive muscle disorder caused by the lack of functional dystrophin protein. Dystrophin is critical to the structural stability of all muscles, including skeletal, diaphragm, and heart muscles. Patients with Duchenne can lose the ability to walk (loss of ambulation) as early as age ten, followed by loss of the use of their arms. Duchenne patients subsequently experience life-threatening lung complications, requiring the need for ventilation support, and heart complications in their late teens and twenties.

More information regarding Duchenne is available through the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. Additionally, information and resources are available at www.duchenneandyou.com.

It can be extended to connect to personal computers, drones, Android & IOS smartphones, appearing to be a portable and mobile smart display device in multiple scenarios.

Compared with the viewing angle of 30-55 degree in the industry, this product has a wider vision of 63 degrees, greatly enhancing the product’s visual immersion. And the product shows a 600-inch long giant screen display, 1920*1080p high-definition picture, a contrast ratio of 50000/1, and 80 million full colors. Combined with the high-brightness screen of 1800nit and the high refresh rate of 90Hz, the product allows users to obtain a clearer and more realistic display effect.

The optical solution integrates refractive error adjustment ranging from 0 degree to 500 degree. Users can directly view the virtual image clearly without a myopia. The product has a strong advantage of expansion and upgrade, and if collocated with 6dof dual handles, the interactive scenes can be realized and create the entertainment application scenes of the product, even supporting full-stack for Steam games. It is expected to become the main entrance of holographic new AR technology of Metaverse in communication, social interaction and entertainment interaction.

Shi Shuo, CEO of WiMi , said: “WiMi HoloAR Lens, accelerates the iteration in terms of image color management, dockable devices and wearing experience, and holographic AR technology implantation.
